Kysrium SL spokes
Anyone know where you can buy Kysrium SL spokes? I'd bought a few on eBay a while back, but a recent check there did not turn-up anything.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Some 'jamoke' chopped me so hard on our group ride last night that he bent one of my spokes! I have no idea how I didn't go down. Otherwise, my experience with these wheels is similar to yours (except for the rim cracking around the spokes last year....that's another story).
Anyway, I'd love to buy a package of replacement spokes.

Also, there are three generations of Kysrium SL's and the spokes are specific to each. So, by getting your spokes from a dealer you can be assured of getting the ones you need for your specific wheel.

We sell them by the each for $3.10 each(And stock about a $2000 worth of Mavic spokes for just about all their wheels). As do many bike shops.
